FAQ
What is checked during a roadworthy inspection?
A roadworthy inspection focuses on safety-related components rather than overall vehicle condition. This includes brakes, steering, suspension, tyres, wheels, lights, windscreen, seatbelts, body structure, and signs of excessive wear or damage. The inspection confirms whether the vehicle meets minimum safety standards required by law, not whether it is free from future mechanical issues.
How long is a roadworthy certificate valid for?
In Victoria, a roadworthy certificate is typically valid for 30 days from the date of issue. If the vehicle is not sold or registered within that timeframe, a new inspection is required. It’s important to plan inspections close to the expected sale or transfer date to avoid needing a repeat inspection.
What happens if my vehicle fails the inspection?
If a vehicle does not meet safety requirements, the inspector will provide a list of items that need attention. Once those issues are repaired, the vehicle can be re-inspected. A failure does not mean the vehicle cannot be sold or registered; it simply means certain safety issues must be addressed first.
